WORTH CHURCH HAS THIRD BLAZE Noted Fundamentalist Pastor, Dr. Norris, Absent When Educa- tional Building Burns. Br the Associated Press. FORT WORTH, Tex., August 17.— [ Fire yesterday again swept through properties of the First Baptist Church here, of which Dr. J. Frank Norris, noted fundamentalist, is pastor, de- stroying its educational building. The blaze was caused by a spark from an acetylene torch with whie ‘workmen were cutting away steel girders from the ruins of the church’s audi- torium destroyed by fire last January. Several times before firemen had been called to extinguish flames in the build- ing from the same cause. In 1912, the First Baptist Church ‘was destroyed by fire. Dr. Norris was indicted and tried on charges of arson | in connection with the blaze, but, after & bitter court trial, he was acquitted. The structure was rebuilt, but was razed again by flames the first of this year, while Dr. Norris was visiting in Austin, Tex. After the embers had cooled city investigators said they found several cans believed to have contained gasoline. The origin of the fire, how- ever, never was decided. The educa- tional building was damaged by the January blaze. The church’s pastor repeatedly has charged that threats have been made against his life and the property of his church as a result of vigorous cam- paigns he has conducted against so- called vice and criminal elements in Texas. Dr. Norris was before the public eye two vears ago after he shot and killed D. E. Chipps, wealthy Fort Worth lumber man, in his study at the church building. His trial was transferred to Austin on a change of venue, and, after sensational testimony was introduced, he was acquitted. The pastor claimed Chipps had threatened his life. No estimate of today’s loss had been made. Dr. Norris is in Wisconsin with his family on a vacation.
